Warrant is a German speed metal band. It was formed in Düsseldorf in 1983[1] by Jörg Juraschek (vocals, bass), Thomas Klein (guitar) and Lothar Wieners (drums).

They went on tour with Warlock in 1985, after releasing an EP and an LP. The band soon split up. In 1999, they briefly reunited and recorded two new songs. Both of Warrant's albums were reissued on a single disc in 2000 with the new tracks included. In August 2010, Pure Steel Records announced the re-release of the albums.[2]
